EBME expo preview
Advancing medical equipment knowledge
The EBME Expo is returning to the Coventry Building Society Arena on 26- 27 June 2024. This large indoor arena is ready to welcome more delegates, and a wider variety of innovative and internationally respected companies in the exhibition hall. The Chair of the EBME Expo, John Sandham discusses the 2024 programme.
The EBME Expo showcases the latest innovations in medical technology, and imparts best practice with regard to management, acquisition, use, and maintenance. It is important to raise awareness of how improved management of healthcare technology, and connectivity, can lead to better NHS productivity and lower healthcare costs. Ultimately, sharing knowledge leads to improvements in best practice, enhancing patient safety, and helping hospitals to deliver sustainable budgets.

EBME (Clinical Engineering) staff work
very closely with Operating Theatre staff ensuring medical equipment is available for users in hospitals. Both are responsible for understanding the complexity of the technology used and assisting users with any problems they may encounter. When medical equipment management is carried out to the highest standards, it also includes purchasing and training, which is why we have now included a dedicated procurement and training conference area. We look forward to welcoming engineers, nurses, doctors, buyers, trainers, operating theatre staff, students, and other healthcare professionals. As part of the EBME Conference, we are very
proud to welcome the five authors of: Healthcare Technology Management – A systematic Approach. These published experts will be setting the scene of how to manage healthcare technology, including: Regulations and Standards; Medical Devices Governance; Performance Indicators and ICT infrastructure. John N. Amoore will start
with how to manage healthcare
technology: “The talks in this session are each based on a chapter in a textbook that we wrote jointly; Healthcare Technology Management: A Systematic Review. (CRC Press, 2017). We believe this book continues to be relevant, and understand that it is used as a course text in a number of postgraduate courses in UK, Ireland and Canada.” We will see in the presentations how
Regulations, Guidance and Standards guide and conform healthcare technology, and how the importance of an institution-wide medical device governance ethos supports the development of healthcare facilities. Management systems should be monitored,
